Learning pronouns: a comparative study of French as a Foreign Language methods

Sudorgina, Anna · E-resource repository of the University of Latvia (University of Latvia) · 2024

Šajā pētījumā analizēta vietniekvārdu mācīšana franču valodā kā svešvalodā (FLE), izmantojot dažādas mācību grāmatas. Galvenais jautājums ir mācību metožu dažādība un to atbilstība Eiropas vienoto pamatnostādņu valodu apguvei (CEFR) ieteikumiem. Šā pētījuma galvenais mērķis ir noteikt, kā franču valodas mācību grāmatās tiek ieviesti un mācīti vietniekvārdi. Salīdzinošā analīze atklāj, ka mācību grāmatās pārsvarā tiek izmantotas induktīvās un skaidrojošās pieejas, dodot priekšroku pakāpeniskai virzībai un vietniekvārdu kontekstuālai integrācijai. Rezultāti uzsver daudzveidīgu aktivitāšu nozīmi, lai stiprinātu patstāvīgo un komunikatīvo apguvi FLE studentiem.

The place of lexicon in French teaching-learning as foreign language in Mozambique : study on materials, methods and skills

Benhe, Nelson · theses.fr (ABES) · 2018

Cette thèse est l’aboutissement d’une étude visant à comprendre la place accordée aux contenus lexicaux dans l’enseignement du français langue étrangère (FLE) au Mozambique, dans un processus qui intègre les universités qui forment les futurs professeurs du FLE, et des lycées où ces derniers exercent leur métier à l’issue de leur formation supérieure. Le corpus de la recherche est composé par 3 (trois) volets, à savoir (i) les supports utilisés aussi bien à l’université que dans les lycées, notamment les programmes d’enseignement et les manuels officiels, ces derniers utilisés dans l’enseignement secondaire ; (ii) les vidéos des pratiques enseignantes dans les universités et dans les lycées ; et (iii) les tests de connaissances lexicales que nous avons fait passer aux apprenants. Nous avons fait appel à la grille de Théophanous (2004) pour analyser le volume et la disposition des contenus lexicaux dans les manuels. Cette grille est un outil spécialement conçu pour étudier la manière dont les manuels du FLE présentent les contenus lexicaux. L’analyse des démarches de l’enseignement du lexique a été effectuée grâce à la Théorie de l’Action Conjointe du Didactique (TACD) et nous nous sommes appuyés sur le logiciel Iramuteq pour mesurer le volume de prise de parole en classe. Enfin, le dépouillement des tests de connaissance lexicale a été effectué manuellement.

Chatbots for vocabulary learning: A mixed‐methods study with A1‐level learners in a French as a foreign language course

Oğuz İbrahim Dündar · Foreign Language Annals · 2026

Abstract This study investigated the integration of a rule‐based AI chatbot into A1‐level French instruction to support vocabulary learning. Quantitative findings showed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores than the control group, with a large effect size ( r = 0.83, p < .001). Survey results indicated generally positive attitudes toward using the chatbot as a mobile learning tool, particularly in satisfaction and perceived usability. Focus group data reinforced these findings, highlighting accessibility, motivational value, and support for personalized, self‐paced learning. Reported challenges included occasional technical issues and the absence of voice‐based interaction. The findings suggest that pedagogically aligned, rule‐based chatbots can support vocabulary acquisition and learner engagement. In pedagogical terms, brief, guided chatbot interactions may extend weekly instruction by providing individualized retrieval practice with immediate feedback in a low‐anxiety environment, while visual cues can further support recognition and recall.

Why French? – The Role of French Language Advocacy in the Classroom and Beyond

Kathleen Stein Smith · International Journal of Contemporary Education · 2025

The process of learning French begins with an individual decision, followed by perseverance to proficiency, and even fluency. In addition, French language learning is framed by the context of a multilingual world and society and informed by the significance of French as a global language and of French and Francophone culture in our history and around the world.This article will examine French language advocacy as the defense of French with the ongoing support of all those interested in learning French in the classroom, in the community, and through traditional as well as online and social media. It will also examine the need for long-term advocacy to be present to support the entire process, from the decision to study French through proficiency, and in our communities, the workplace, and our society. While focused on French language and Francophone culture, it will also examine the work of French language advocates in terms of the role of French as a global language in a multilingual world.Advocacy goals, including expanding affordability and accessibility of language learning for all learners through advocacy, initiatives, and support by language educators, along with language stakeholders and partners through the entire language learning process will also be examined. Methods discussed include blue ocean strategy, change management, and leadership initiatives by advocates and advocacy groups. Issues remain enrollment, affordability, availability, and persistent myths about the practicality of the French language major. Partnerships among educators and stakeholders, along with parents and communities provide a pathway forward.The importance of French language advocacy lies primarily in its mission, but many of the core values that drive French language advocacy, along with the strategies and methods of effective advocacy, can be applied to advocacy for languages, education, and related areas.

Assessing the Influence of AI-Supported Learning Methods on Instructional Quality in Higher Education

Institut Catholique de Kabgayi, Jean Damascene Habiyambere, Onesme Niyibizi et al. · 2026

Ensuring high instructional quality in higher education remains a significant challenge, particularly in language instruction for Year One undergraduate students transitioning from secondary to tertiary learning environments. In English–French programmes, learners often face difficulties related to limited individualised feedback, varying language proficiency levels, and reduced engagement, which can hinder effective learning. With the growing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-supported learning methods in higher education, there is a need for empirical evidence on their contribution to instructional quality, especially in early undergraduate French language courses. This study employed a quantitative descriptive–correlational research design to investigate the impact of AI-supported learning methods on perceived instructional quality among 43 Year One undergraduate students enrolled in English–French (French modules) programmes. Data were collected using a structured 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression analysis. The findings revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between AI-supported learning methods and instructional quality (r = 0.68, p < 0.001). Regression results further indicated that AI-supported learning methods significantly predicted instructional quality (β = 0.64, p < 0.001), accounting for 46% of the variance. These results demonstrate that AI-supported learning methods play a substantial role in enhancing teaching clarity, feedback quality, learner engagement, and overall instructional effectiveness in higher education French language instruction. The study concludes that integrating AI technologies can meaningfully improve instructional quality and supports their informed adoption in tertiary language education. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence-supported learning; Instructional quality; Higher education; French language instruction.

Language teaching and learning via integrated intercomprehension in Cycle 3 (last 2 grades of French Primary education) : stakes, methods and skills

Emilie Gacia · theses.fr (ABES) · 2016

L’école a longtemps ignoré les langues et cultures maternelles des élèves.Une exploration des apports de la recherche en didactique d’apprentissage des langues, avec notamment les approches plurielles, montre comment la didactisation du contact de langue permet de construire une réflexion métalinguistique favorisant de nouveaux apprentissages en langue vivante étrangère ou dans la langue de scolarisation. Une étude de l’évolution historique des programmes scolaires français laisse enfin entrevoir la perspective d’ouvrir l’école au plurilinguisme, en adéquation avec les préconisations des Institutions Européennes. L’intercompréhension entre langues apparentées, apparaît comme une modalité d’apprentissage favorisant la compréhension et le fonctionnement de plusieurs langues, d’autant plus si l’apprentissage organise l’intégration des langues entre elles. Nous décrirons le fonctionnement et les enjeux de l’intercompréhension intégrée en langues romanes.Une expérimentation fut menée sur deux classes de CM1-CM2 lors des apprentissages scientifiques en intercompréhension intégrée à l’aide du manuel Euromania. Dans une classe, cette expérimentation était couplée à l’approche interculturelle Comparons nos langues. Il s’agissait d’observer de quelle manière cette expérimentation contribuait à l’évolution des représentations linguistiques des élèves, au développement de compétences linguistiques ainsi qu’à l’élaboration de stratégies de compréhension. Nous observerons les bénéfices apportés par l’intercompréhension intégrée et les approches interculturelles, aux apprentissages linguistiques et discipinaires, au plurilinguisme, à une meilleure réussite et à un plus grand épanouissement des élèves.

Beyond Bilingual: Identifying Effective Methods For Teaching French as a Third Language

Collins, '07, Sarah J., Nillas, Faculty Advisor, Leah · Digital Commons at Illinois Wesleyan University (Illinois Wesleyan University) · 2007

Despite limited studies on teaching French to third language learners, current research on language acquisition and cultural identity suggests that learning a new language is meaningful when it acknowledges the learners' prior understanding (Hancock, 2003 ; Mercado, 2002; Reeser, 2003 ; Rolstad, 1997). In this case, it is knowledge of other cultures and languages. The purpose of this study is to identify effective methods for teaching French to students who are bilingual in Spanish and English. The study was conducted at a high school in Chicago, Illinois, and participants included two French teachers and Spanish-speaking students studying French. Through surveys and interviews, the teachers and selected students were asked to discuss learning preferences, teaching methods, interest, motivation, and success in learning French. The findings of the study support the notion that French teachers who use alternative and relevant teaching methods are more effective in facing the challenge of a declining interest in French and the demands of a growing population of bilingual students.

The Application of Traditional Chinese Culture in University French Teaching

Xin Li, Zheng Li-min · Contemporary Education and Teaching Research · 2023

As one of the official languages of the United Nations, French has an important position in international communication. Traditional language teaching methods often neglect the importance of cultural elements, resulting in students' difficulty in understanding and accepting French culture while learning French, thus affecting the learning effect. China has a rich history and cultural heritage, and these traditional cultural elements not only reflect the historical development and national characteristics of China but also the spiritual support of the Chinese people. How to integrate these cultural elements into French language teaching and make it a powerful tool to enhance learning effect and interest is a challenging task. This paper discusses the application of traditional Chinese culture in French teaching, aiming to improve students' language learning and enrich their cultural knowledge. Specific application strategies include integrating traditional cultural elements into the design of teaching content, designing classroom activities, organizing cross-cultural exchanges, and innovative teaching methods. Integrating traditional Chinese culture into French language teaching can enhance students' learning interest and efficiency, and also help improve their intercultural communication skills.

Teaching methods emphasizing phonological forms enhance L2 vocabulary learning

Nathalie Dherbey Chapuis, Raphael Berthelé · Language Teaching Research · 2024

The present study aims to measure the effects of the teaching of second language (L2) phonological forms on L2 receptive vocabulary learning. Two teaching methods were compared in a pre- and delayed post-test to evaluate their impact on L2 word learning. Participants ( n = 127; mean age = 12;6, i.e. 12 years and 6 months) were randomly divided in two groups that followed either an explicit teaching method focused on L2 phonological forms, or a communicative teaching method focused on meaning, in which L2 phonological forms were taught implicitly. The teaching methods in the two groups aimed to foster the skills and the learning of phonological forms involved in the development of receptive vocabulary. The two teaching methods trained the same skills and relied on the same vocabulary. They both targeted the phonological forms of two difficult phonemic contrasts in French as a foreign language. The two teaching sequences took place during mandatory lessons in French as a foreign language for six weeks (12 lessons), in a Swiss state school. Generalized mixed models were fitted to the data to test for differences across teaching methods in their impact on L2 word learning. Overall, the results indicate that participants made significant progress in word learning, with no significant differences between the two teaching methods. Pronunciation, discrimination, retention in verbal working memory, and the mastery of phoneme–grapheme correspondences are significant factors of vocabulary learning in French as foreign language. The teaching of L2 phonological representations and the training of their processing facilitated the learning of words in L2 French. However, the teaching of vocabulary in French as a foreign language rarely involves a focus on phonological representations.
